Hi jaganathan,

Looking at the syllabus of upsc, bachelors degree in ARTS i.e. BA with history, political science, geography, anthropology,etc must be taken…because these subject together constitute the major portion of the syllabus…Moreover BA course is easier compare to other courses as a result u will get more time to prepare for the other subjects …and also this course is of 3 yrs only.

So,according to me BA would be best for IAS.

Hoep this will help you.Good luck.
